Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent primary malignancy of the liver. The aim of this study is to evaluate the comparative in silico and in vivo ameliorative potential of the ethanolic extract of Curcuma longa (EECL) in male and female Wistar rats administered N-nitrosodiethylamine-induced hepatocellular carcinoma. The MAPK compound was obtained from a protein data bank (PDB ID: 7AUV) for molecular docking.

Article Synopsis
  • Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a type of liver cancer that is difficult to treat and resistant to chemotherapy, prompting research into alternative therapies.
  • The study focused on evaluating the compounds from the Noni tree to find potential inhibitors of B-Raf kinase, a target in HCC treatment, using various computational techniques.
  • Five compounds, including Soranjidiol, showed promising inhibitory activity against B-Raf kinase and demonstrated good drug-like properties, suggesting they could be developed into new treatments for HCC.
